that feeling when you want to puke from a hard workout

[screamingjesus]

I'm trying to push some HIIT and complex type workouts for general fitness and weightloss.

Whenever I hit that wall where I'm sucking air and borderline going to vomit, I take a rest, take a drink, but I just can't get back into the workout. It's like my whole body just crashes or something. Is that a hormonal response? Cortisol or something? Or is it just that I'm way too unfit and need to do it more often? I feel like I wasted a whole day today because after 15 minutes I pushed myself to that point with short rest times and I was toast. Then for the rest of my workout my body wasn't cooperating. Rest time didn't seem to help, I was like a zombie after that. The easy answer is to schedule the intense cardio at the end of the workout I guess.

I mean probably more from cardio. When I think working out I think lifting. Only time I get close to puking during a work out is too much pre/hungover

For me (A Newbie), I feel this from time to time when I start a new routine or when I incorporate new excercises. Most recently, I added a high volume low weight cycle in my routine to shake things up and was borderline ‘sick’ at the end due to little rest times. Also, I notice I feel like this when I do not have a little snack before training. I normally have a banana before training 5am in the morning, obviously sometimes I just run out the door and feel the consequences later on.
Just my two cents.

Have you been doing low and moderate intensity cardio regularly? Perhaps you should build up to HIIT, making a foundation and conditioning yourself in lower intensities first, then it will get easier to do higher intensities.

maybe your stomach is just easily upset

if i max out on pullups at home for fun my mouth waters and i have to throw up.
if i ease into it with a few jumping jacks and push ups i am good.
